The report was released in the midst of a debate in Connecticut over the imposition of tolls to help pay for an overhaul of the state’s aging, overused infrastructure. It ranks Connecticut 26th in the nation in the percentage of structurally deficient bridges, and 38th in the nation in the percentage of those bridges needing repair. The report said the Connecticut bridge that’s in the worst condition is the Yankee Doodle Bridge in Norwalk, which was built in 1957. A bridge on I-95 over the Metro North tracks in New Haven was No.2 in the list of the most structurally deficient bridges in the state, followed by another bridge in New Haven on 1-91 over North Front Street and the Quinnipiac River.
